Questions about the app
Is the Artivive app free?
Yes. The app is free on the App Store and Google Play, and viewing artworks needs no account or login.
Do I need the app to see an artwork?
Not always. Artworks published with WebAR open in the phone's browser: scan the QR code next to the artwork with your camera and press Start. Everything else opens in the app.
The artwork does not come alive. What can I do?
Hold the phone so the whole image is on the screen, in good light and without glare, and keep it steady for a moment. More tips in How to view AR experiences.
Can I make my own?
Yes. Artworks are made in Bridge, the free Artivive editor in the browser. Create a free account and your first one takes about two minutes.
